may cause undesired operation.
■Charging time may increase
In the following situations, charging
time may become longer than nor-
mal:
■When the remaining charge of
the traction battery is low after

●When using “My Room Mode”.
(P.129)
●Charging is performed when the
outside temperature is low or high
●There is a power outage during
charging.
●Charging is performed immedi-
ately after high-load driving or in
extreme heat
●There is an interruption in the
electrical supply.
In any other situation, if the remain-
ing charge of the traction battery is
significantly lower than normal after
charging completes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●There is a drop in the voltage of
external power source.
●The charge in the 12-volt battery
is low, for example due to the
vehicle being left unused for a
long period of time.

: When this occurs, even if the
remaining charge display of the
traction battery shows that it is
fully charged, the remaining
charge rapidly decreases faster
than normal.

■When the charging amount sent
to the traction battery
decreases

ated before charging. (P.99)
●When the plug generates heat
due to a loose outlet connection,
etc.
When the amount of power supplied
by the charger is low or operation of
the battery heater, etc., reduces the
charging power sent to the traction
battery, the charging amount sent to
the traction battery may decrease.
